Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. St. Johnstone FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' St. Johnstone FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Heart of Midlothian FC that had 312 games and scored 334 goals.
  • 11' GOAL! Liam Gordon scores on 11.
  • 16' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 21' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 26' Heart of Midlothian FC have won 334 goals from 312 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 31' The home supporters are growing impatient. St. Johnstone FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 35' Poor challenge from John Souttar. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 40' Magnificent from Josh Ginnelly! That is 25 goals in 65 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 45' With 0 assists to his name this season, John Souttar is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Heart of Midlothian FC.
  • 46' St. Johnstone FC make a change. James Brown trudges off to be replaced by Reece Devine on 46 minutes.
  • 51' St. Johnstone FC is showing some good football. However, St. Johnstone FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 56' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Murray Davidson.
  • 61' Supporters expect more eagerness from Cameron Devlin, as he is very good at scoring at McDiarmid Park with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 66' It looks surprising Heart of Midlothian FC does not make any changes. Lars Dendoncker has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 67' Stevie May picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 69' The referee calls foul for Jamie McCart. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 74' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 75' Ben Woodburn has so much to prove this time. He replaces Josh Ginnelly on 75 minute.
  • 80' Ben Woodburn needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 81' A tactical swap from St. Johnstone FC — Glenn Middleton on, Stevie May off on 81 minutes.
  • 83' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Liam Gordon.
  • 86' Cameron Devlin has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 86.
  • What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — St. Johnstone FC 1-1 Heart of Midlothian FC.
